Section 1.0 Overview
Throughout ancient human history, measures of six have been used for the passage of time.
There are the romantic guzals of India, the bajans and kirtans. In the Middle East six is played
as three, two times. In Persia it is played as two, three times. In the flamenco of Spain it is
played as 12: two three’s plus three two’s.!
In Ancient Greece they classified the elements as four kinds: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. In
modern terms we could call this the phases of matter which is solid is earth, air is a gas, water
is a liquid, and fire is energy (the emission of photons from an excited atom). !
However, today we can surmise the elements are discrete units (protons) with electrons orbiting
them. The number of protons determines the type of element and it has a number of electrons
equal to that number so that it is electrically neutral. For instance hydrogen is one proton, with
one electron. Carbon is six protons with six electrons. We find their properties are periodic over
18 groups, the last group being the inert or noble gases. When one element combines with
another in the case of a metal with a non-metal, the metal loses electrons to become positive
and the non-metal gains electrons to become negative. The period of 18 groups determines
how many electrons are gained or lost because the non-metal wants to have noble gas
electron configuration. So it is in oxygen in group16 that it gains 18-16=3 electrons becoming
. If it is aluminum in group 13, then it becomes . This determines how aluminum
combines with oxygen to become aluminum oxide because it must be neutral. Since Al has a
charge of positive three it needs 3(2)=6 (2 atoms) to have a positive charge of 6. And since
oxygen has a negative charge of minus 2 it needs 2(3)=6 (3 atoms) to have a negative charge of
minus six. Thus aluminum combines with oxygen as two aluminum atoms to three oxygen
atoms, and we write its chemical formula as .!
Thus we see since the periodic table is periodic over 18 groups it is deeply connected to the
six that occurs in the guzals of India, the sixes of the Middle Eastern and Persian music, and
the six of Spain’s flamenco. Indeed the key to playing in this meter is in understanding the
relationship between 3 and 2 which defines the syncopated nature of the these styles, which is
the reconciliation between these two numbers. It occurs by way of the factor of six over a
period of 18. Eighteen as I said is the periodicity of the periodic table of the elements, and I
would like to say now that carbon (C) is the sixth element and the core element of life because
it becomes when it combines with other elements, which is for the skeleton of life the
hydrocarbons by combing with hydrogen , which is one proton. I have found that carbon (C)
predicts the radius of this proton. Let us look at this now in the following section, section 2.0.
We will look after that at how the this interplay of 2 and 3 reconciles the Ancient Greek
categorization of the Elements — Earth, Air, Wind, Fire — with the modern formulations of
elemental compounds in terms of atoms.!
2.0 Proton-Seconds and Proton Radius
We need to have one equation that brings in constants of quantum mechanics and of
relativity. Like of QM and of gravity. I find I can do this with inertia.!
In order to present the elements as mathematical structures we need to explain the matter from
which they are made as mathematical constructs. We need a theory for Inertia. I had found
(Beardsley Essays In Cosmic Archaeology. 2021) where I suggested the idea of proton
seconds, that is six proton-seconds, which is carbon the core element of biological life if we
can figure out a reason to divide out the seconds. I found!
